RUAHA NATIONAL PARK

East Africa’s biggest national park and the second-largest on the African continent

Ruaha National Park

Following its recent expansion, Ruaha is currently East Africa’s biggest national park and the second-largest on the African continent. It is also Tanzania’s most sizeable elephant haven and home to a profusion of bird species, including kingfishers, plovers, egrets, hornbills and sunbirds.

Crocodiles and hippos thrive in the Great Ruaha River, which flows along the sanctuary’s eastern border and in the dry season between July and November, animals flock to the last remaining water sources, presenting an exceptional wildlife spectacle. There are a number of accommodation options available but some close for the wet season in March and April.

Best time to travel to Ruaha National Park

The best time to visit Ruaha National Park is in the dry months (June to October). Animals are easier to spot because the bush is thinner and animals hang around the places where there is water.

Wildlife

This park is known for its big herds of elephant and Cape buffalo, kudu, sable and roan antelope. Many predators can be encountered here, amongst which lion, leopard, cheetah and African wild dog.
